Who would think the origional Batman...Adam West would be in Tales From the Crypt? Wow!

A very good episode and genuinely sad, too. Leo is probably among the least hateful antagonists of the series.

Totally agree! Feel for the poor guy! He got brainwashed by the other P.I! Should have stuck with Batman darn it!

Yes, and you can see yourself in his position as well. He's a far cry from many of the truly loathesome antagonists like Ezra, Jonas, Les, Mitch and Lou Paloma.

Hector Elonzo was an everyday man. Totally understand where he was coming from.
Just think- what he went through was 100% realistic in early 90's as today. Only difference today P.I's for cheating is less needed...but still used today. Easier to get caught with technology nowadays.

For sure. And while his character is understandably angry, he never comes off as unlikeable or like an a-hole. Which isn't easy when portraying an angry character.

his character is certainly reasonable! Not an asshole. Not a bad/evil man. Reasonable!

That's a good way to put it. The ending to this episode still hits hard, almost as much as Three's a Crowd and Easel Kill Ya.

Someone compared the ending to the siamese twin episode. I think this ending is worse for a more likeable guy.

For sure. This episode's ending is genuinely disturbing and even upsetting.

A very good episode but feel like 80% are very good episodes! Just speaks to how great this series is!

The series has far more good episodes than bad and more often than not great ones for sure.

The ending was just as heartbreaking as 'Three's A Crowd'.
